A couple try to catch dinner from a wharf in Pyrmont, and yes the "angling" is also partially a pun on the direction of the woman's rod.

Although the waters of western Sydney Harbour are cleaner now than they once were, the residue of a century's worth of industrial waste does continue to haunt them and it's not recommended that you eat a great deal caught from there. I mentioned this in one past PAD, will repeat someof the content from an October 2010 article about fishing in Sydney Harbour.

"A Department of Primary Industries report released today shows the harbour has the most recreational fishers per square kilometre of any NSW waterway. Yet authorities are concerned about poisoned fish that were caught west of the Harbour Bridge being eaten.

Government staff surveyed more than 500 people, who named 33 species they took home.

Despite the 70 per cent of survey respondents rating the harbour as ''good to very good'', Primary Industries Minister Steve Whan said fishers were ignoring warnings about possible carcinogens in catches from west of the bridge.

Fish from the western side of the harbour have been considered unsafe to eat since 2006, when high levels of dioxins were found in some species."

The tanker Golden Denise (2006, 124m, 12,000 tonnes deadweight tonnage) provides the backdrop.
